Data captured September 20, 2026 · 19 active $5 games

As of September 20, 2026, 19 $5 scratch-offs are on sale in Texas, averaging 64.1% current payout. The best of them is In the Green at 71.6% ($3.58 back per ticket, 1 in 3.95 for any prize).

Price is the strongest predictor of payout on a scratcher: the more a ticket costs, the larger the share of its price the lottery returns in prizes. In Texas today, $2 games average 66.6%, $3 games average 65.6%, $10 games average 68.0%, $20 games average 72.4%, $50 games average 75.2%, $100 games average 78.7%. That is an average, not a rule: within this $5 tier the spread between the best and worst game is 23.3 payout points, which is why the table matters more than the tier.
